Abstract
This study explores the charge transport properties and ambient stability of perylene diimides (PDIs) modified with alkyl, alkoxy, and alkoxysilyl side chains. We employed the DFT-D3 method with the theoretical level B3LYP-D3/6-31+G(d,p), as well as the Marcus model, to conduct this analysis. The results highlight an excellent ambient stability and ambipolar behaviors. We observed n-type behavior, with electron mobilities reaching 0.177 cm2 V−1 s−1, as well as p-type behavior, with hole mobilities up to 2.970 cm2 V−1 s−1. These results suggest a promising potential for modified PDIs in advanced electronic applications.
期刊介绍:
"Polymer Bulletin" is a comprehensive academic journal on polymer science founded in 1988. It was founded under the initiative of the late Mr. Wang Baoren, a famous Chinese chemist and educator. This journal is co-sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Society, the Institute of Chemistry, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology. It is a core journal and is publicly distributed at home and abroad.
"Polymer Bulletin" is a monthly magazine with multiple columns, including a project application guide, outlook, review, research papers, highlight reviews, polymer education and teaching, information sharing, interviews, polymer science popularization, etc. The journal is included in the CSCD Chinese Science Citation Database. It serves as the source journal for Chinese scientific and technological paper statistics and the source journal of Peking University's "Overview of Chinese Core Journals."
